Deadline: 2016-12-17
Region: North America
Job description:
Open Date: 11/17/2016
Close Date: 12/17/2016
Description
SRF Program in Technical Division is looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on various state-of-the-art problems in science and technology of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities for particle acceleration.
Positions are for an initial period of up to three (3) years, with the potential for extension considered on a yearly basis thereafter.
Respects, understands and values individual differences that embody the principles of diversity.
Abide by all environment, safety, and health regulations.
Essential Job Functions and Responsibilities
· Exploration of various limiting factors of cavity performance (quench, residual resistance, BCS resistance).
· Plasma processing for in situ suppressing of field emission in cryomodules.
· Extending nitrogen doping technique to other relevant frequency, temperature, and field domains.
Qualifications
